Chapter 569 Di Tian's Woe
Nine Pillar had an expectant look, followed by regret. He knew he would not live to see his dream accomplished. However, he was satisfied with knowing it would eventually be fulfilled.
He glanced at Di Tian before controlling the power of the coffin and using it on the Limit Breaker. He used the coffin to escape with this precious treasure from a FiendG.o.d. After so long, he knew his enemy was alive and even more powerful than ever.
As such, he decided to take precautions to prevent the FiedG.o.d from sensing the Limit Breaker and coming after it. Nine Pillar handed the two treasures to the clone before waving his hand. In an instant, Di Tian's clone appeared before the mountain where the real body was.
Meanwhile, Nine Pillar's gaze penetrated the upper dimension to check on his master and sect. And as expected, they were now all gone. He sighed deeply before shaking his head.
He wanted to leave the coffin for his sect. But based on what he learned of the upper dimension, they could not keep such a treasure. So, he decided to disappear with it.
And that's exactly what he did. With his obsession removed, he had nothing to keep tethering him in the world of the living. So, Nine Pillar and the coffin disappeared from this world as if they had never existed.
Myriad Emperor World, Western White Tiger Continent:
Inside the sealed mountain, Di Tian looked at the Limit Breaker before him, deep in thought.
'What should I do? Which is the right choice?' These questions echoed in the depth of his min, occupating all his thoughts.
After synching memories with the clone, he a.n.a.lyzed the situation, realizing he had to make an important choice: absorb the Limit Breaker now or wait later to remove Nine Pillar's seal.
'With w.a.n.g Wei as my opponent, I may not be able to win this generation's Heaven Will even with the Nine Extremity Foundation. So, I need the Limit Breaker to prove the Dao.'
He never thought about going to other World Communities to prove the Dao. Every Great Emperor has a special connection to the worlds they prove the Dao to, and he needed that connection to revive Ning'er.
He used materials and laws from the Myriad Emperor World to create her. As such, she has an imprint in his world. An example of the imprint's importance was that she used it to live on for many years as a Spirit.
If Di Tian proves the Dao in another world, the plan he has to revive might fail, or at the very least, become hundreds of times more difficult since he could not access her imprints in the Myriad Emperor World.
Di Tian looked at the purple orb floating before him, his eyes full of complex emotions.
'On the other end, after I prove the Dao and revive her Will she be my perfect Ning'er or someone who just looks like her?'
Di Tian asked himself how he would feel if it was the latter, and he did not know the answer; he did not want to know. And with the Limit Breaker, he did not have to find the answer.
His Ning'er will be the perfect creature he envisioned and created. Then, everything would be back to normal.
'Maybe, w.a.n.g Wei will not reach the Tenth Extremity; maybe, I can still win with my current strength.'
He wanted to convince himself dearly of this truth. After all, a person as powerful as Nine Pillar searched for numerous Yuan Epochs for a method. And he died after finding the answer. So, it is not far-fetched that w.a.n.g Wei would failespecially given the available time.
But he knew better than anything to underestimate an enemyespecially someone like w.a.n.g Wei.
Di Tian took a deep to enter a logical thinking state.
'I have two options: find a way to break the Tenth Extremity Limit on my own to use this Limit Breaker on Ning'er, or find another Limit Breaker or something of the same effect.'
As he a.n.a.lyzed the two options, none of them were ideal. Although he was intelligent, Di Tian knew it would not take intelligence to find a way to break the limit. Such a feat would require imagination and ingenuity, something w.a.n.g Wei seemed to have in abundance, but he did not.
The second option could cause a problem if his wife were not resurrected on a specific timetable.
'No, I don't have to choose. I can use the Limit Breaker to prove the Dao. Then, gather Ning'er's Imprints but not immediately revive her. Subsequently, I got to the upper dimension to search for methods to perfectly revive her.'
He learned from Nine Pillar how vast the world truly vast. So, he did not think there would be only one Limit Breaker. So, no matter what he had to do or how long it took him, he was determined to find what he wanted.
After making a plan, Di Tian suddenly felt his mind open up as if a group of dark clouds had been dispersed after a storm; he felt the world was brighter and had a new sense of purpose.
Then, a rare smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. Without hesitation, he began refining the Limit Breaker to fuse later after he entered the Quasi-Emperor Realm.

Central Qilin Continent, Dao Opening Sect:
Wu Hong had a slight frown, thinking deeply about what had just occurred. She tried to rack her memories to find who was peeking at her, but she could not remember him.
It was an anomaly that she did not know such a powerful Everlasting Empyreanespecially one living in the lower dimension. And Wu Hong did not feel that the reason she did not know him was due to her missing memories.
'Has this timeline changed so much?'
Too many things occurred that should not have. The Deceiving Heaven Trial never appeared in the previous timeline. Many of the current Heaven Chosen were not as powerful as they were.
That included Tong Ruobing, Xu s.h.i.+, and Huo Fenghuang. In the previous timeline, Lin Fan and Ji Song survived until the Heaven Will Battle.
'Forget it. Too many things have changed for me to care. Anyway, the point was to change things for the better.'
"Is something wrong?" asked w.a.n.g Wei.
"No, I just felt someone peeping."
"Oh, who was it?"
"A very powerful and talented Empyrean."
"Do you know what he wanted?"
"No, he seemed to be scanning you."
w.a.n.g Wei nodded; he did not care much since Wu Hong did not indicate he had something to worry about.
"It's a shame," Wu Hong said with a small sigh.
"What is it?"
"That person would not survive for long. I think it's a shame such a talented individual died."
"He must have been excellent if even you have such high praise of him," replied w.a.n.g Wei, who suddenly thought of something.
"An Empyrean just saw us naked, but why did that suddenly arouse me? Am I into exhibitionism?" asked w.a.n.g Wei, a little perplexed.
"Let's test it out," said Wu Hong with a smile. She then waved her hand to change the room into a stadium with people made from illusions watching them. Finally, she got on top of him.
w.a.n.g Wei looked at the watchers. His eyes lit up before snapping his finger to change the illusion into a modern setting with people and cameras filming them. Then, he got down to business.
A few days later, w.a.n.g Wei left the room, refreshed and happier than ever. He went to brew some tea to further enhance his current happiness. Then, He walked toward the main room of the mansion to contact w.a.n.g Ju. However, when he took a step, w.a.n.g Wei suddenly realized something: he forgot to mention the hooded figure to Wu Hong.
'I let my guard down,' he thought. He was so invested in spending time with her that the hooded figure's power worked on him again. He took a talisman to contact her, but he received no response as she seemed to have already entered deep seclusion.
He shook his head before deciding to be even more careful from now. Then, he proceeded with his meeting with w.a.n.g Ju.
"How are things going?"
"Everything is proceeding smoothly as you instructed. We have been keeping an eye on the Alliance and the Sea Race, but nothing as of yet."
"What about the old beggar? Did you find him?"
"Unfortunately, no. However, we did receive news of an innate treasure's aura appearing on the Eastern Continent. Our investigation has suggested that it might have been related to the old beggar."
"So, he succeeded," muttered w.a.n.g Wei. Even he could not find the old beggar through divination.
"You don't have to focus too much on him," he ordered. The old beggar will only be vital after he proves the Dao. And by then, no matter where the latter hides, he will find him.
w.a.n.g Wei chatted with w.a.n.g Ju for a while before dismissing her. Immediately afterward, he received a summon from Li Jun from the trial.
'Somone wants to see me?'
